Spring 2018<\/h1>\n

Until March 17, each session consists of two parts. In the first part of each session (2:00 pm \u2013 3:30 pm), the instructor will lead the exploration of the intriguing topics of mathematics. In the second part of each session (3:30 pm \u2013 4:30 pm), students will be engaged in problem-solving activities which will sharpen their understanding of the curriculum related topics.<\/p>\n

After March 17 until April 21, we will continue only with problem-solving activities. The session will start at 2:00 pm and will continue until 3:30 pm.<\/p>\n
